A Falcon 9 rocket launched SpaceX 's Starlink 6-93 mission Tuesday night (May 6) from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) in Florida. Liftoff occurred at 9:17 p.m. EDT (0117 GMT on May 7) from CCSFS's Launch Complex-40 (LC-40) — one of two launch sites the company operates on the Space Coast.

Weather permitting, a SpaceX rocket launch from Florida may be visible from Jacksonville and Daytona Beach to Fort Pierce and West Palm Beach.

The fourth day in May became Star Wars Day because of the franchise's iconic phrase, "May the force be with you."
